That is my thought too. If I can get it I will let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for the help.

The bike was not running when it went in just pushed in and left over night.

Have a chance to purchase a KTM 250 that was dropped into a pond not running and was recovered the next day. What do you think would be potential problems other than changing all the fluids cleaning the tank and carb out?

Thanks

Thanks for all the info guys I think I will leave the weights alone.

Kent

Does it help or hurt low end torque?

Kent

I know this is a stupid question but what is the purpose for a flywheel weight on the 500?

Kent

Thanks for all your help/info guys. The Gatorade bottle in the backpack is a great idea.

Thanks guys, I think I will give it a go....

I have a chance to ride on a 35 mile single track loop and mine has the stock tank. Most of my riding is short trails that end up back close to the truck. On this 35 mile loop it wold be a long push back to the truck if I did not make it.

Any idea how far (mileage wise) I can ride on my 2001 CR500?

Thanks
Kent

Thanks for all the good info. I have the manual but I was at work and the shop doing my repairs did not have one for my specific bike and I was trying to avoid another days delay getting my forks back.

Kent

I thought I had lost my service manual but found it and it said 5 weight oil so that is what I used.

Thanks
Kent

Yes it was the factory setup. It was working fine for the type trail riding I do.

Kent

What weight / brand fork oil should I use in my 01 forks?

Kent

Thanks for the info.

Kent

How much oil do I put in the front forks on my 01 500? Thanks in advance.

Kent

Thanks for the link.

Kent

Thanks for the info about the bushings. I will be looking into the repairs next week.

ridin4fun,

Thanks for all of the info guys, I may have to try this myself as I just called my local Honda dealer and they want +/- $220 plus a two week wait.

Kent

I am located in north Louisiana. I would try it myself but we already have my son's quad torn apart in the garage so it is more of a convenience thing.

Thanks for helping.

I have a 2001 500 that just started pouring oil from the seals on both fork tubes. Where is a good place to send them to have them repaired? I do not know if my local Honda dealer would work on a bike this old.

Thanks

I must confess that is the same type of gloves I have been wearing for years. When I got my first dirt bike bike in the mid to late seventies I spent my money on premix, a chest protector, riding jersey, and a helmet. So I found a pair of Dads leather work gloves and have used them all these years. ...

Anybody have a number or web address for sudco, I'm willing to spend $4.50 to cure a little spooging problem.

Thanks
Kent
